January REVEAL - Birchbox

SNEAK PEEKS, SPOILERS, THEMES & MORE!

We are back with the Birchbox Sneak Peeks! Are you excited? ARE YOU?! Birchbox's Facebook page is slowly starting to pop up with Sneak Peeks and the Sneak Peek Video just recently uploaded, so I'm here to share the goodies with you!....Here is what they have to say for this month's theme....

"A new year means it’s Go Time for Birchboxers! Not only is that this
month’s theme, it’s also a mantra for taking on new adventures this
year. We know you’ve done the resolution thing before—but this year
we’re flipping resolutions on their head and pledging to do things we
really want to do. It’s less about giving things up, and more
about taking new things on—new products, new superfoods (yum), new
workout moves, and more! Watch this month’s video to see a few of the
products our members are receiving this month (keep in mind, most of
them will be a surprise!) and learn about some very special promotions
coming up!" - from birchbox.com

So this month's theme is:

GO TIME

And now on to the featured products from their September Sneak Peek video! (*Note
- all products are shown here in full-size, you may instead
receive sample or deluxe sizes. There is also no guarantee that you'll
be receiving these products in your own Birchbox if you are a
subscriber, these are just featured products.)

100% PURE

FRUIT PIGMENTED MASCARA

BLACK TEA FLAVOR

"Fruit Pigmented Mascara from 100% Pure...which is made with black tea in addition to fruit extracts..." - Mollie

"So this is lengthening with a great gloss..." - Hayley

"Really, really good if you have sensitive eyes." - Mollie

SERGE NORMANT

META REVIVE

DRY CONDITIONER

"This is a brand new product from Serge Normant. You may know him from being a celebrity stylists. THIS is his Dry Conditioner. If you're spending a lot of time styling, second day hair blow outs and all that, you kind of neglecting this part of your hair (ends to mid-way up) and it gets not shiny, not pretty....what [the dry conditioner] is made for is to really condition the ends, the mid-lengths of your hair....this stuff is amazing and it really gives your hair that kind of a soft, silky finish." - Mollie

"Body butter is really thick (Hayley)...and this is just as hydrating as, like, the richest body butter I've ever tried. It has shea butter, it has jojoba oil, but it doesn't feel slippery and goopy...I actually tried this in the office the other day...it's incredible....they have a really subtle but not overpowering scent, which is really nice..." - Mollie

FEKKAIBRILLIANT GLOSSINGShampoo

Conditioner

Cream

"These products are all made with olive oil, which, as we all know, are very good for you...good to eat, good for you hair....great for shine, great for healthiness. These products are fantastic." - MollieThat's it for the Sneak Peek video special featured products! If you want to watch the actual video, here it is:

They also had January Box Spoiler #1 (single product) recently revealed on their Facebook page! Here's the spoiler for it:

January Box Spoiler #1"This
skincare product, which some subscribers will get to sample this month,
is designed to be added to your moisturizer to give it a "boost"." - from Birchbox's Facebook

and here is the reveal! (again, remember this is only a featured product reveal, not all subscribers will be receiving this) -

PAULA'S CHOICERESIST C15 SUPER BOOSTER

"If the skincare world had a gifted program,
this vitamin C face treatment from Paula’s Choice would be a shoo-in.
The light-as-water formula visibly brightens skin in a matter of weeks,
fading dark spots and wrinkles caused by everything from acne to sun
exposure. Not only that, but it promotes plumper, younger-looking skin
with a blend of smoothing antioxidants and collagen boosters. If acne is
still a nuisance for you, fear not—the fast-drying liquid is ideal for
all skin types and won’t clog your pores." - from birchbox.com

UPDATE 1/8

Hello again! I have some more sneaky peeks for you! It's only a couple days away from Birchbox uploaded your boxes on your profile but for now, we still have some products to drool over and wish for!January Box Spoiler #2"This
product, which some of our subs will get to sample this month, comes in
10 colors which range from demure to bold, matte to shimmery, plus it's
made from all-natural ingredients. Can you guess what it is?" - Birchbox's Facebookis is................INIKA MINERAL EYESHADOW!

"Our morning makeup routine is sometimes a
bit, well, rushed—which means that eyeshadow is often an afterthought.
But these mineral eyeshadows from Inika are worth sacrificing a few
minutes of shuteye. Richly pigmented colors range from demure to bold,
matte to shimmery—and all-natural ingredients make them a great choice
for those with sensitive eyes." - from Birchbox.com

Some subscribers will be receiving this mineral eyeshadow in their January Birchboxes, in the shade Eternal Marine (shown below)

How gorgeous!January Box Spoiler #3"Our
third January box spoiler comes in options like glitter, sequins,
velvet, and caviar. Can you guess what it is? (Hint: It's NOT a trip to
Vegas, sorry!)" - from Birchbox's Facebook

Any guesses? Hmmmm, intriguing...it IS....

NAIL ROCK MANICURE KIT

" Nail art will
always have its place, but a new twist on this that we’re digging is the
idea of nail architecture. Thanks to celeb nail artist and Nail Rock
founder Zoe Pocock, we can build gorgeous nail looks with the likes of
glitter, sequins, and other fancy add-ons.

How it Works: Every kit comes with two pieces: a polish for a solid
foundation and a pot that houses a textured topper. Accent options
include Nail Sequin, for the ultimate disco-ball mani; Nail Glitter, to
create serious sparkle; Nail Caviar, for a rich encrusted look; and Nail
Velvet, which leaves a luxe matte finish." - from Birchbox.com

Nail Rock Manicure Kits come with a polish and a textured topper that you dip your finger in while the polish is still wet for it to adhere to. There are four different types of texture - glitter, sequin, velvet and caviar. It SEEMS based off of Birchbox's online magazine post regarding the Nail Rock kits, that some subscribers will be receiving them in these four possible color variations....

#1 - Red Glitter

#2 - Sequin Green

#3 - Velvet Burgundy

#4 - Moon Caviar

It does show different color variations in the Birchbox Shop, but since these four were the ones mentioned in the article, I'm merely guessing. They may in fact send out other color variations to those that are receiving the kits.January Box Spoiler #4"'Like'
this if you'd like us to put an end to your search for a non-greasy,
fast-absorbing, awesome-smelling body butter. When this post gets 1,500
'likes' we'll reveal our final January box spoiler product which comes
in yummy flavors like Pomegranate and Coconut." - from Birchbox's Facebook

Oooooo, a body butter! If you've been a Birchbox subscriber for a while, you'll definitely recognize this brand!.....

WHISHTHREE WISHES BODY BUTTERshown in Pomegranate

"From no-calorie cupcakes to pinch-free
stilettos, we admit that we’re prone to wishful thinking. Another item
near the top of our if-only-it-were-real list: a truly non-greasy body
lotion. Much to our surprise, this decadent organic body butter fits the
bill. It contains a trio of antioxidant-rich moisturizers that
nourishes skin and wards off sun damage. The rich scents include Almond,
Blueberry, Coconut, Lavender, Lemongrass, and Pomegranate." - from Birchbox.com

Same as the Nail Rock Kits, there ARE other fragrances shown in the Birchbox Shop, but Pomegranate is the only one mentioned in the Birchbox article.
